Making our way out to Secrets on the Lakes where the boys were getting ready it was quite the cute little retreat. With wooden pathways above the ground it felt like a treehouse that never ended. Finding our way to the boys room there was nothing but smiles and joy. Starting them off with a few shots enjoying the beginning of this very special day they eased right into it. Having special groomsmen underwear this made for a uniquely humous section for our video. Before long it was time for the boys to get dressed, and get a few snaps together before it was time for us to head on over to the girls.
Arriving at the ladies who were only just down the road at Lake Terrace, finalising the finishing touches they all looked gorgeous, but our beautiful bride Holly topped it off. She looked nothing less then STUNNING. In her gorgeous gown made by Richard De Chazal words could not describe the beauty of both combined. By far one of my favourite wedding gowns thus far. This talented man was responsible for hair, makeup and the dress design! & all three were flawless.
Whilst only doing video today we only had myself & Rob, our main videographer. Shortly after capturing all the precious moments of Holly & Jesse’s morning we started our short journey to the wedding venue - Weddings at Tiffany’s. Shooting Steve & Janina’s wedding at this venue not so long ago we loved our first experience there, our second was no less extravagant. We LOVE the chapel at Tiffany’s featuring a gorgeous view of Sunshine Coast Hinterland with wide open glass windows showcasing this beautiful scenery. Also offering accomodation this venue is definitely an all in one for an intimate wedding location surrounded by some of the most picturesque scenery the glasshouse mountains has to offer.
Setting up the gear in preparation for Holly’s entrance you could see in Jesse’s face how nervous & excited all at the same time he was to be marrying the women of his dreams. As the time drew closer & closer everyone was patiently awaiting Holly’s arrival, and before long it was time.
Walking through those front doors everything stood still, the essence of her beauty filled the room as tears of joy started to flow. Making her way to Jesse you could see the love these two shared for one another, I at this point was even welling up.
Through these ceremonies as powerful as this one just looking at the reactions from both bride & groom is strong enough for me to get waves of emotion only imagining what it must feel like for the both of them. It makes me so happy to see such a beautiful love of two people becoming one, and I felt very privileged to have been apart of such a special day.
Having the celebrant be a close friend of both Holly & Jesse his words were beautiful with a slight bit of humour here and there lightning the emotions it was the perfect ceremony. Im sure both Jesse & Holly couldn't have imagined anything more special for they're becoming of one.
Walking back down the aisle as husband & wife confetti was thrown as everyone followed them outside for their well wishes. Shortly after everyone had said their congratulations it was time to head down the road to a beautiful little private property and begin the photos section.
Working in well with the two other photographers we worked together to make sure we both were able to get amazing shots for both Jesse & Holly. & we both nailed it. With that fairytale feel to it we were excited to get home and begin the editing process the footage was that exciting for us. Gorgeous afternoon sunlight accompanied by a gorgeous big tree it was the perfect afternoon.
Heading back to Tiffany’s the night kicked off with a bang, having G&M Dj’s as the MC & DJ they did an excellent job at capturing everyones attention with a good laugh. Moving on through the night the speeches were heartfelt & beautiful, hearing kind words from Holly & Jesse’s nearest & dearest.
Shortly after dinner followed the first dance, it was quite an emotional time for the both of them as holly laid her head on Jesse’s shoulder close to tears. This was a beautiful moment for everyone who bared witness to the memories both Jesse & Holly will treasure forever.
Throughout the rest of the night there was some great moves on the dance floor, and nothing but smiles and happiness as everyone partied on into the night.
We thank Jesse & Holly for having us be apart of their special day, from the team here at J’adore we wish you both nothing but the best for your future filled with happiness, endless love & the best of memories shared between the two of you.
Congratulations!
Until next time,
